A short while ago, I decided to get serious on Contra! It's been a rollercoaster for me, ups and downs, and yeah I've learnt some lessons and all from it! I put together some of the things I've learnt along the way in a document.

Just shipped a real product for a real business — for Base44's #GiveItAGlow challenge with Contra.

The business: Enin Cookies, a home bakery in Depok that grew from a home kitchen into a small storefront — sourdough, cakes, brownies, 2,700+ Instagram followers — and no website at all.

Before: Instagram + Linktree + WhatsApp DMs were the entire ordering system.

After, live on Base44: → A full product catalog with pickup ordering + checkout → An AI ordering assistant handling FAQs (hours, payment, custom orders) and guiding customers to the right product, so the owner isn't retyping the same answers all day → Built-in lead capture for future promos and seasonal hampers drops

This is the kind of problem I like solving: giving a small business the digital presence their product already deserves — without handing them a new admin panel to learn.
